Dinka Sugoi
Rockstar gave this Honda Civic Type R-inspired hatchback a perfect 100 handling score, the ceiling its own stat bars can show, trading some straight-line speed to get there.

The Dinka Sugoi launched with The Diamond Casino Heist update on February 13, 2020, priced at $1,224,000 from Southern S.A. Super Autos. Its design draws directly from the Honda Civic Type R FK8, and its Rockstar-assigned handling score sits at the maximum possible 100.00 on the game's own 0 to 100 scale.
How It Drives
Broughy1322's fully-upgraded test clocks the Sugoi at 189.90 km/h (118 mph), with a 1:08.786 lap time. Rockstar's own in-game stat bars read 83.70 speed, 77.50 acceleration, 28.33 braking, and a perfect 100.00 handling, all on a 0 to 100 scale. That maxed-out handling number is rare among Sports-class vehicles, but the FWD layout and comparatively low braking score mean the car rewards smooth cornering over hard late braking into turns.
How to Get One
Buy it outright from Southern S.A. Super Autos for $1,224,000, or unlock the $918,000 SecuroServ trade price by completing The Diamond Casino Heist Finale as the heist leader with the Sugoi selected as the reward vehicle beforehand. Unlike most trade prices tied to reputation grinding, this one requires a specific one-time heist completion rather than repeated progress.
Customization Highlights
A full build runs $391,800 across every category at Los Santos Customs, noticeably cheaper than most tuner-focused Sports cars in a similar price bracket. Turbo tuning is the single largest line item at $50,000, followed by the Race Transmission at $40,000. Livery options lean into the car's JDM identity, with choices like Sugoi Stripes and Jackal Racing among the ten available designs.
Comparison to Other Variants
Against the Emperor Vectre (also JDM-inspired, $1,785,000, 186.68 km/h fully upgraded), the Sugoi is both cheaper and faster, though the Vectre's AWD layout and higher acceleration rating give it an edge off the line. Against the Grotti Carbonizzare, an older Sports car no longer sold anywhere, the Sugoi is both purchasable and faster, at roughly six times the Carbonizzare's original $195,000 price.
Is It Worth Buying?
At $1,224,000 for a perfect handling score and a competitive top speed, it's one of the stronger value picks in the Sports class, especially once the trade price is unlocked. The FWD layout and low braking rating are real limitations in tighter races, but for general freemode driving and most standard circuits, the handling advantage outweighs them.
Quick Tips
- Complete The Diamond Casino Heist Finale as leader with the Sugoi selected beforehand to unlock the $918,000 trade price Lean into corners rather than late-braking, the perfect handling score rewards smooth driving more than hard stops Budget separately for the $391,800 full upgrade cost, it's lower than most cars in this price range Don't expect AWD-level traction off the line, the FWD layout shows up most in acceleration-heavy starts Take advantage of the 4-seat layout for freemode passengers, most Sports-class cars only seat 2

Special Features
Pros & Cons
- Maxed-out 100.00 handling rating on Rockstar's own scale, the highest possible score
- Strong top speed for its price point (189.90 km/h fully upgraded)
- Seats 4, useful for freemode over most 2-seat Sports cars
- Discounted trade price available through a one-time heist requirement rather than repeated grinding
- Weak braking for a Sports-class car (28.33 on Rockstar's own scale)
- FWD layout limits traction off the line compared to AWD rivals in the same price range
- Not bulletproof by default, a single homing missile, RPG, or sticky bomb destroys it even at 100% armor
- Trade price requires completing an entire heist finale as leader, not a simple in-game task
Verdict
